For one with limited hand strength, gripping to lift a bag with feed, fertilizer, mulch, grass clippings, etc., can be difficult. This Homemade Bag Gripping Aid may provide the solution. It involves inserting and twisting into the bag's flexible lip a small ball (e.g., golf ball) or a stone, then tying it off with string or a rubber band. This creates a spherical "handle" that allows for lifting the bag with the entire hand, rather than having to squeeze it with just the fingers.
